After D.C. Police identified 30-year-old Saeve Evans from surveillance footage of the area where 16-year-old Breyona McMillian was shot to death the day after Thanksgiving, the man turned himself in at the Fifth District Police Station last night. Interim D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham had made a public plea for information leading to his arrest. So far, he has only been charged with unlawful possession of a firearm.
